Hello,
Happy May Day and International Workers Day!
From the EcoAction Committee of the Green Party of the United States: “The Earth Day to May Day theme highlights the interconnection between critical issues such as climate change, environmental justice, worker and immigrant rights, peace, anti-racism, and biodiversity.
We need system change, not climate change. Another World is essential to the future of humanity.”

CALL TO ACTION!
Healthcare is a Human Right! Healthcare For All NOW!
The U. S. spends far more on health care per person than any other country in the world – in fact more than twice as much as the average for other rich countries. Yet we are not getting our money’s worth in terms of good health. The United States ranks near the bottom of the industrialized world in life expectancy, infant mortality, and other standard measures of health. The World Health Organization ranks the United States 37th in overall quality of health-care performance.(WHO 2000). No wonder, since so many don’t have health-care coverage at all and millions more have inadequate coverage. We need to hold the line that Healthcare is a Human Right and we Need this NOW!
